The hottest topic of this time of year is what to get your friends and family for the holidays. As much as we all love the holiday season, coming up with gift ideas can be extremely stressful when you’re fresh out of ideas. Well, after much consideration and thought… I have come up with gifts for pretty much everyone in my life and thought it would be nice to save you all from some gift brainstorming stress!

Your Family
Family members are suckers for college apparel. Being a freshman in college, I plan on decking out my parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and everyone in-between in my school’s apparel. #represent
Your Home Friends
When it comes to home friends, you spend more time away from them than you do with them. That being said, try and get something for them that will remind them of you while they’re missing you at school. Some good ideas include, personalized blankets, cozy pillows, a stuffed animal maybe, or anything that will remind them of any inside jokes you guys may have.
Your Boyfriend
Boys are simple yet easy, if that makes any sense. Personally I go straight for his heart and his stomach, and by that I mean video games and food. If your boyfriend is into video games, he will love you forever if you get him the newest game on the market. If not, you can do something as simple as a dinner-for-two at his favorite restaurant and you pay. There are few things that men love more than they love food.
Your Girlfriend
There is nothing a girl loves more than when you pay attention to the little things she says she likes on a daily basis- so listen up boys! The look on her face will be priceless when she opens up a box of something that she mentioned three months ago, you’ll get major brownie points. Another sweet idea is just spending the day together doing things you know she loves. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant, but even just planning a day of watching all of her favorite movies, ordering in her favorite food, (maybe throw in a piece of jewelry ) and showering her with love for the day sounds really good to just about any girl!
Your Significant Other’s Parents
This is a tricky one because the odds are that their parents either have everything they want, and what they don’t have is way out of your price range. Have no fear. A nice idea for your significant other’s parents is something that they can put out while they’re entertaining or have company over. It may not seem like the best gift to you, but parents can always use another serving platter or tray. If that doesn’t seem like something you are excited to give as a gift, you can always get them their favorite kind of coffee or tea along with a mug set.
Your Roommate
You don’t have to go crazy but a little roomie love is always appreciated. An inexpensive idea that is still really sweet is just filling a stocking with all of their favorite things. It won’t cost you an arm and a leg but they will really appreciate the fact that you’ve picked up on their favorite snacks, candies, drinks, and goodies over the semester.
Your College Friends
Again, nothing too crazy but if you just want to show your school friends that you’re really happy you got to spend the semester together, frame your favorite picture of you guys! Printing a picture at a drug store or a place like Costco costs less than $0.50 and frames aren’t all that pricey either. This is a cute way to cherish one of your favorite times and turn it into an easy present.
Your Pets
Personally, I am a huge fan of dressing animals up. I don’t know what it is about dogs in sweaters but it appeals to me on a different level. So, yeah, if you love your pets get them a cute sweater, it’ll keep them warm through the winter while also making them the most stylish pet on your block.
